> Since chance is involved, you will basically never want to do anything but the greediest highest value next action. Sometimes more than half the board has net value of 0 or less which makes them very easy to ignore.

Since passing is not an option, you can't ignore a net value of 0 or less, because all options might have a net value of 0 or less.

Sure. But there's still no conceivable situation where it is advantageous to pursue such an option while a net positive option exists. Ergo, it is easy to ignore.
